Yes, the boat shuttle is for an earlier model and is pretty scarce. Should be worth quite a few bobbins.

Bobbins ordered! Is there a serial number date of manufacture reference on line for these? Thanks.

Katie Farmer can help you out:

Thank you, I sent her an email.

Doesn't look like it has seen a lot a wear. Good luck.

"Mr. DeMille - I'm ready for my close up!"

After 5-6 hours of cleaning, de-gumming, lubricating and polishing, the Golden girl was finally ready to be photographed ;-). I'm waiting on the bobbins to arrive and I need to order a new treadle belt. Other than that, she is ready to go to work.

Starlet, indeed!

Boy do I feel like a dummy! A little while ago I was moving the treadle cabinet and it felt like the front panel was loose. I thought uh-oh, the wood is coming loose. But then I looked closer and realized it was a drawer. What do I find inside? Four of the elusive White bobbins! So along with the two I bought off Ebay, I'm all set. I just feel like a dummy for not finding them sooner.

Looks like a good hiding spot.

Congrats on your pretty "new to you " machine!
